Chapter 390 The first defeat of the rocket

In the third quarter of the game, the Rockets finally saw some dawn.

Yao Ming's aerial relay led the Rockets to a 9-2 shock wave, and the score became 62-56, and the Hornets were only six points ahead.

There are 6 minutes left.

The Hornets called a timeout.

Although the Hornets are better than the Rockets in terms of overall strength, things in the world have never been absolutely high and low.

For example, today's competition.

The Rockets' touch is coming! Although the Hornets do not kneel, they do receive a severe attack wave.

The Rockets' playoff feel this season is really a bit amazing. When facing the Trail Blazers, their shooting percentage in the fourth game actually exceeded 65%. In that game, the Trail Blazers were convinced.

In this game, their feel seemed to be coming.

The game started again, and the basketball came to the Rockets. Yao Ming received a pass from Artest near the baseline on the right. Then he bent down to test Chandler's reaction.

Chandler was a little short, and Yao Ming immediately changed direction to his left hand!

Some Chinese players are still good, such as soft shooting feel and good ball control skills... Yao Ming is a big center who can control the ball from behind and shake off the defending player's 226cm, which can illustrate many problems.

This time, he used a change of direction to shake Chandler aside, and at the same time took a big step forward, approaching the basket very much, then he put away the basketball, turned to the right, and then jumped up...

"Bang!"

Another dunk!

For ordinary people, dunking is a very labor-intensive and very hurtful thing, but for Yao Ming's height... dunking is really not a big deal.

This time, the dunk won the praise of some Chinese fans next to the court.

It also made Director Zhang excitedly say: "Yao Ming's turn is done so well!"

The score was 62-58, and the Rockets were only 4 points behind! Their dawn was brighter! The Rockets' defense was also very powerful, and the score difference of only 4 points left suddenly made them full of confidence.

The Rockets suddenly improved their defense. The Hornets were also a little uncomfortable, and Paul's breakthrough was popped up several times.

Paul passed the basketball to Zhong Yu, who was the most poisonous stinger of the Hornets. He had a good idea in the face of such a tough battle. After Zhong Yu received the ball, Bathir quickly followed up and pressed against Zhong Yu tightly. Zhong Yu made a fake shooting move and he was unmoved. So Zhong Yu then lifted up his body. Till was also worried that Zhong Yu would make a real fake scene. After lifting up a little body, Zhong Yu immediately lowered his body, slapped the basketball on the ground, moved a step to the right, and then took a step back and jump shot directly!

Bathil rushed to Zhong Yu's eyes, but it was still too late.

His basketball bounced directly into the net, and Zhong Yu used a three-pointer to turn the score into 65-58, and the gap became 7 points again.

"Zhong Yu's key ball ability!" Yu Jia said with emotion: "It's really outstanding. Look at this three-pointer... he shot too accurately."

But Director Zhang said a little faintly: "The score gap has reached 7 points again... The Rockets just raised a little hope, but now I can't find it."

The situation is really like that... After Zhong Yu had a three-pointer, the Rockets' score gap was widened a little. Fortunately, the Rockets are now in good morale, and they started offense again and played relatively high. Xiao Bu missed a three-pointer from the outside, Yao Ming grabbed the rebound and forced a tip-off. Chandler was suppressed by him. Yao Ming got a rebound and two points, making the score 65-60. The Rockets were still 5 points away from catching up with their opponents.

"There is still a five-point gap."

The fans were all reminded of their hearts, watching the Hornets' offense.

Because, if they miss the attack next and are hit by the Rockets for a counterattack, they are likely to be directly equalized.

Paul brought the ball and broke through the inside. Brooks really had no way to Paul. Paul's physical fitness was better than him. Xiao Bu turned into a defensive black hole in front of Paul.

After Paul broke through to the near free throw line, he put away the basketball and took a step inside. After attracting enough double-teams, he passed the basketball to Zhong Yu who was following quickly.

Zhong Yu is also the defensive target that the Rockets are taking care of. Yao Ming and others let Paul go and double-team Zhong Yu, and Zhong Yu threw the basketball into the sky!

"Bang!" The dull dunk sound seemed to have caused an explosion in the entire basket. When Yao Ming and the others turned around, they could only see Chandler's right hand muscles full of explosive tension hanging on the basket, flashing with indescribable ferociousness.

"Beautiful job!" Chandler's way of expressing his excitement was to pat Zhong Yu's head. Zhong Yu also punched him in the chest. These things must be returned, not...

Paul attracted double teams for this ball, and Zhong Yu received the pass and distributed it to Chandler, fully leveraging the Hornets' advantages.

As long as they pass the basketball, the Rockets will be very difficult to deal with - Zhong Yu and Paul are all people who need double-teams. Chandler in the inside is amazingly explosive, West's jump shot is accurate, Peja can shoot three-pointers... The combination of these five people is really worthy of making any team in the league feel a headache for them in terms of offense.

The score gap has returned to seven points.

"The Hornets' game is getting better!" Yu Jia said: "After they pass the ball alive, the Rockets are often unsure who they should defend, which is a disaster for them."

The Rockets' offense soon had problems. This time, their shooting percentage was not as abnormal as before.

Although Yao Ming is a center, his technical style is often a bit similar to that of a guard. In the reasonable collision zone, as long as he can turn around, his shooting can only make people pray for God.

But he didn't make the shot.

The rebound was taken by Chandler. Then, Zhong Yu dipped the ball through the half, and then passed the ball to Paul, cutting into the inside, attracting the attention of several people. Paul broke through again, attracting the double team of several people. Zhong Yu had withdrawn. Chandler blocked Bathir for him. In this way, Paul passed the ball to Zhong Yu's hand, and there were basically no one left in front of him who could interfere with his shooting.

Zhong Yu took the ball and took a step back, stopped urgently, and then jumped from outside the three-point line in the bottom corner, and Bathir could only come up and block his eyes...

Bathir's eye blocking was obviously not very useful to Zhong Yu... Zhong Yu's jump shot flipped the net on the basket a few meters away!

Three-pointer hit! The score gap has once again become double digits!

Zhong Yu looked at Bathil's depressed look, smiled, and suddenly said: "For a shooter, you can block his eyes, but you can't block his heart that can see through the world."

Bathir was immediately covered in goose bumps by Lei and went back to participate in the attack in a depressed manner.

In the next third quarter, the Hornets maintained their lead.

At the end of this quarter, the score gap between the two sides was 11 points. Although the Rockets still have a lot of hopes, it is obviously not very wise for this team to put their hopes in the fourth quarter.

Before the Rockets, their habitual collapse in the fourth quarter always made Rockets fans sigh, but now, it is really hard to expect them to regroup in the fourth quarter and kill the Hornets.

Back on the bench, the Hornets were talking and laughing.

"That ball was passed very well, wait a moment!" Chandler gestured in his hand and said, "I'll cover you, run away. If they defend you, you will pass the ball and dunk me. If you defend me, you will dunk yourself!"

Chandler said this and also roughly described the location. Zhong Yu nodded, but said, "Your idea is wrong."

“What’s the problem?”

"They may have double-teamed," Zhong Yu said.

Scott heard what Zhong Yu and the others talked about, and knew where they were talking, so he interrupted and said, "So, once someone double-teamed, you can pass the ball. This is the benefit of our team's lineup. Of course, if you double-teamed or die, you can only look at the battlefield by yourself."

After Scott arranged the general tactics for the last quarter, the time was almost up.

There are more rest time in the half, but there are very few rest time between the two quarters, so the game will have to start over in a while.

"Long live the wasp!"

Various slogans from the fans were passed on, and then the noise-making tools sent by the Hornets to the fans at home were echoing wildly throughout the stadium.

The Hornets' home fans' atmosphere is very good, especially in the playoffs, this city that has been stormed by hurricanes seems to be treating its own beliefs.

There is even a special Hornets Playoff Guide to be sent to fans.

The game scene was very bad, and the main players of the two teams also re-played. The Rockets attacked the first ball, and the basketball passed to the inside. Yao Ming turned around and jumped another turn and hit the basketball!

Yao Ming has scored 25 points and 4 assists today... It is very difficult to be a father and a mother.

However, on the Hornets, Zhong Yu received a pass from Paul. After two consecutive jump shots outside the three-point line, the third one turned into a real action. Zhong Yu pushed the basketball out with both hands...

"Swish!"

With a three-pointer, the gap between the score was widened to 12 points, and the situation for the Rockets became increasingly serious.

The next fourth quarter game is also developing in this direction.

The Rockets could not beat the Hornets at all, especially in the fourth quarter, their shooting percentage began to decline. Even Yao Ming, who had already scored 27 points, his jump shot was not as high as that.

So, the Rockets failed in the first game and surrendered, allowing the Hornets to win the fifth game of the playoffs this season!

The Hornets defeated the Rockets at home! (To be continued)!~!
